Abstract: 3778. Olinger, J. B. Feb. 15, 1909, [Convention date]. Geographical or universal clocks.-In a clock which indicates the local times of various places, a disk A, which rotates within a fixed annular dial L marked in the usual manner, is divided into twenty-four segments, alternate segments being similarly coloured. There are twelve radial pointers M, and the segments on opposite sides of each pointer are marked with the names of places situated on antipodean meridians The names are so arranged that the places indicated on successive segments of the same colour are approximately 15 degrees of longitude apart, as denoted by the numerals N<11>. Another set of numerals N<111> enables the difference in the times at any two places marked on the disk, or, in a modification, the difference between the time at the place where the clock is used and the time at any other indicated place, to be readily ascertained. The disk A, with which the hour-hand rotates, is clamped between two disks, one or both of which are made of glass, these disks being secured together by a tubular member which is screwed on a pipe mounted loosely on the minute-arbor. The dial may be illuminated from the rear. Specification 4124/77 is referred to. Winding-apparatus, hand. - The clock is wound by reciprocating a hand-lever H extending below the dial.
